Tooth development

For first year dental student, i got this from the internet.. Hope this can help u guys understand more about the tooth development.. Btw, good luck for minitest OB tomorrow.. No sacrifice, no victory!

Initiation of Tooth
development
Stages of tooth
development
Development of the
dental papilla

Tooth Root
Development of
supporting structures

3.
Each of us began life as a single cell, a zygote.
The zygote produces a ball of cells (the morula)
which in turn produces the Human embryo.
However, the actual development of Teeth starts
at approximately 6-7 weeks after conception.

4.
In the human 20 primary and 32
permanent teeth develop from the
interaction of the oral epithelial cells and
the underlying mesenchymal cells .

6.
During these early stages the tooth germs
grow and expand and the cells that are to
form the hard tissues of the teeth
differentiate.
Differentiation takes place in the bell
stage setting the stage for enamel and
dentin formation

7.
As the crowns are formed and
mineralized the roots of the teeth begin
to form
After the roots calcify the supporting
tissues of the teeth (the cementum,
periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone)
begin to develop
Subsequently the completed tooth crown
erupts into the oral cavity

8.
Root formation and cementogenesis
continue until a functional tooth and its
supporting structures are fully
developed

9.
Developmentally missing permanent
teeth can be a result of a genetic
abnormality.
When fewer than 6 teeth are missing it is
termed Hypodontia
When more than 6 teeth are missing it is
oligodontia

14.
The Dental lamina develops into a sheet of
epithelial cells that pushes into the underlying
mesenchyme around the perimeter of both the
maxillary and mandibular jaws .

15.
At the leading edge of the lamina 20 areas of
enlargement appear which form tooth buds for
the 20 primary teeth .
After primary teeth develop from the buds the
leading edge of the lamina continues to grow to
develop the permanent teeth , which succeed
the 20 primary teeth . This part of the lamina is
called the successional lamina

16.
The lamina continues posteriorly into the
elongating jaw and from it come the posterior
teeth , which form behind the primary teeth .
In this manner 20 of the permanent teeth
replace the 20 primary teeth and 12 posterior
permanent molars develop behind the primary
dentition
The last teeth to develop are the 3rd molars ,
which develop about 15 years after birth

18.
the primary teeth and permanent molars form
from the general lamina
The anterior permanent teeth which succeed the
primary teeth form from the successional lamina
The initiating dental lamina that forms both the
successional and general lamina begins to
function in the 6th prenatal week and continues
to function until the 15th year producing all 52
teeth

19.
Each tooth develops through three successive
early stages :
1. Bud stage.
2. Cap stage.
3. Bell stage.
Each stage is defined according to the shape of
the epithelial enamel organ which is a part of the
developing tooth

23.
After further growth of the papilla and the enamel
organ the tooth reaches the morphodifferentiation
and histodifferentiation stage also known as the
bell stage.
At this stage the inner enamel epithelial cells are
characterized by the shape of the tooth they form

24.
The cells of the enamel organ have differentiated
into the outer enamel epithelial cells which cover
the enamel organ , and inner enamel epithelial cells
which become the ameloblasts that form the
enamel of the tooth crown
Between the 2 cell layers are the stellate reticulum
cells, which are star shaped with processes attached
to each other

25.
A fourth layer in the enamel organ is composed of
stratum intermedium cells , which lie adjacent to
the inner enamel epithelial cells. They assist the
ameloblast in the formation of enamel
The function of the outer enamel epithelial cells is
to organize a network of cappillaries that will bring
nutrition to the ameloblasts

28.
Cells in the periphery of the dental papilla become
odontoblats (differentiate from mesenchymal cells)
These cells elongate and become columnar and
form a matrix of collagen fibers identified as
predentin which becomes dentin
When several increments of dentin have formed the
differentiated ameloblasts deposit an enamel
matrix

29.
After the enamel organ is differentiated the dental
lamina begins to degenerate by undergoing lysis.
Cells interact through a system of effectors ,
modulators, and receptors called cell signaling.

30.
Densley packed cells characterize the dental papilla
This is evident in the early bud stage during which cells
proliferate around the enlarging tooth buds at the leading
edge of the dental lamina
The papilla cells are significant in furthering enamel organ
bud formation into the cap and bell stage
Blood vessels (nutrition) appear early in the dental papilla
along with nerve fibers
Cellular changes result in formation of a hard shell around
the central papilla , as this occurs the papilla becomes the
dental pulp

32.
As the odontoblasts elongate, a process develops at the
proximal end of the cell adjacent to the dentinoenamel
junction
Gradually the cell moves pulpward and the cell process
known as the odontoblast process elongates
Increments of dentin are formed along the dentinoenamel
junction
The dentinal matrix is first a meshwork of collagen fibers,
but within 24 hours it becomes calcified
It is called predentin before calcification and dentin after
calcification
The odontoblasts maintain their elongating processes in
dentinal tubules

34.
The collagenous dentinal matrix is laid down in increments
like bone or enamel , which is indicative of a daily rhythm
for hard tissue formation
The site of initial formation is at the cusp tips
As the odontoblastic process elongates a tubule is
maintained in the dentin , and the matrix is formed around
this tubule
Dentinogenesis takes place in 2 phases . First is the collagen
matrix formation, followed by the deposition of calcium
phosphate (hydroxyapatite) crystals in the matrix .

36.
Calcification :
The initial calcification appears as crystals that are in small
vesicles on the surface and within the collagen fibers
The crystals grow, spread and coalesce until the matrix is
completely calcified.
Only the newly formed band of dentinal matrix along the
pulpal border is uncalcified
Mineralization proceeds by an increase in mineral density
of the dentin
As each daily increment of predentin forms along the pulpal
boundary the adjacent peripheral increment of predentin
formed the previous day calcifies and becomes dentin

38.
Ameloblasts begin enamel deposition after a few
micrometers of dentin have been deposited at the
dentinoenamel junction
At the bell stage cells of the inner enamel epithelium
differentiate, they elongate and are ready to become active
secretory ameloblasts.

40.
Short conical processes (Tomes’ processes) develop at the
apical end of the ameloblasts during the secretory stage
Junctional complexes called the terminal bar apparatus
appear at the junction of the cell bodies and tomes’
processes and maintain contact between adjacent cells
the first enamel deposited on the surface of the dentin
establishes the dentinoenamel junction
As the enamel matrix develops , it forms in continuous
rods from the dentinoenamel junction to the surface of
the enamel

42.
When ameloblasts begin secretion , the overlying cells of
the stratum intermedium change in shape from spindle to
pyramidal .
Substances needed for enamel production arrive via the
blood vessels and pass through the stellate reticulum to
the stratum intermedium and ameloblasts
In this manner the protein amelogenin is produced.
Only a few ameloblasts at the tip of the cusps begin to
function initially
As the process proceeds more ameloblasts become active
and the increments of enamel matrix become more
prominent

43.
Is a genetic problem in which the enamel is poorly
developed and mineralized
It can be the result of cellular malfunction resulting in
defective enamel matrix formation
